Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

OFFICE STAFF
I'm a 70 yr. old retired St. Louis firefighter who is on Social Security disability for severe leg fractures and now 3 bulging discs and 3 pinched nerves. I have been on blood thinners for over 20 years and for some unknown reason, this office cancelled my blood thinner prescription. And than when I confronted them about it, they sent the script to the wrong pharmacy and I still haven't got that straightened out yet. I have had major blood clots over the years. Now this office would not renew my handicapped tag that I've had for over 10 years. I am GREATLY disappointed in this office.

Great doc with excellent bedside manner
Dr. Dear is an excellent physician. He explains everything he’s going to do and everything you need to know about your diagnosis. He doesn’t rush you out the door but LISTENS, a rarity these days. I can’t say enough good things about him.
